In this case, Capt placed in unenviable situation...personally, I would not have placed these conditions in FO's lap with (her) experience level, a decision made before ToD briefing...Penang + cb's.
CX had 15kt Max x-wind for FO when I was there decades ago. Dragon same?
20kt. Firm landings...do you consider the autoland firm? Every half year we practice autoland and every time I am reminded that is an Airbus (320) definition of a landing which I consider firm.
I believe we all have different opinions on what is firm and what is hard.
Crash was a great game Btw.
